With a metallic effulgence that's reminiscent of mercury, this Pulmonaria is a refined inspiration for the darker corners of your garden. Its lance-shaped leaves are completely frosted in silver except for a pencil-thin, deep green edge. Impressively mildew resistant, 'Excalibur's striking foliage is graced by charming rosy pink and blue flowers long before spring's treasure trove of bloom gets underway. (pp#8958).
